A federal judge in Virginia has blocked the auction of over 100 artifacts recovered from the RMS Titanic shipwreck, citing concerns that selling the items posed a threat to the collection's integrity and preservation. U.S. District Judge Rebecca Beach Smith issued the order against RMS Titanic, the company holding exclusive salvage rights to the wreckage.

The decision prevents the sale of these century-old relics, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the historical and cultural value of the Titanic artifacts.
